Cute Socks And How To Style Them 

The last few seasons we have seen the sock trend become a fashion statement that can completely transform any outfit. From celebrities on the street to models walking the runway, socks are no longer just a basic necessity, but a fun way to add some personality to any fit. If you’re looking to elevate your style and want that cool girl aesthetic, here are some ways to pair different socks with everything from Uggs to loafers to heels.

 

1. Socks with Uggs: Embrace the Chunky Sock Trend

How to wear: As the temperatures begin to cool, Uggs continue to dominate, and adding a cute chunky pair of socks is not only acceptable, but also very trendy. We love them styled with thick, ribbed, or knit socks that peek out just over the top of your boots. Colors like neutrals, oatmeal, and soft greys are ideal for staying in the same tonal family as your Uggs.

Styling tip: Wear socks and Uggs with shorts, skirts, or leggings for an easygoing, off-duty look.

2. Socks with Tall Boots: The High Sock Look

How to wear: From moto to riding boots, tall boots are a fall essential and pairing them with cute high socks adds an extra layer of warmth and style. Go for knee-high socks that offer subtle contrast or blend seamlessly with your boots. This works especially well with dresses or skirts for that layered, fall-ready look. 

Styling tip: Textured or cable-knit socks can add depth and interest to your outfit, especially in cooler weather.

3. Socks with Athleisure: Sneakers & Sporty Vibes

How to wear: Socks with sneakers are a daily staple, but there are ways to elevate this look for an easy model-off-duty style. Whether you’re hitting the gym or running to class, experiment with ankle or crew socks in bold colors or with fun patterns. 

Styling tip: White crew socks are still a classic that pair perfectly with chunky dad sneakers.

4. Socks with Heels and Ballet Flats: Dainty & Delicate

How to wear: Styling socks with heels might sound tricky, but when done right, it’s a great way to add a playful twist to your outfit. Thin, sheer, or lace socks can soften the look of structured heels and add a whimsical element. Ideal for wearing with a dress or skirt, this pairing can be a stylish way to transition summer footwear into fall. 

Styling tip: When mixing with more feminine footwear, be sure to choose thinner socks avoiding anything chunky and thick.

 

5. Socks with Loafers: A Preppy Touch

How to wear: Loafers paired with socks gives off a polished, preppy vibe. Opt for classic socks in solid colors or subtle patterns like argyle or stripes to complement your loafers. This combination works well with cropped trousers, shorts, pleated skirts, or even wide-leg pants, making it versatile for work, school, or weekend outings. 

Styling tip: White or black socks with black loafers create a timeless look, but feel free to experiment with colors if you're feeling bold.

6. Socks with Mary Janes: The Thin Sock Approach

How to wear: Mary Janes and thin socks are a nostalgic pairing that can add a youthful yet sophisticated touch to your look. Sheer or silky socks, especially in lighter colors, work best here. Pairing these with a dress or skirt gives off a playful, vintage feel. 

Styling tip: Look for socks with subtle details like a scalloped edge or bow to add charm to this already feminine combination.
